Some drugs are serotonin receptor agonists or antagonists that target specific receptor subtypes. Serotonin receptor antagonists are used to
Drugs that bind to but do not activate SEROTONIN 5-HT4 RECEPTORS, thereby blocking the actions of SEROTONIN or SEROTONIN RECEPTOR AGONISTS. Descriptor ID.
A serotonin receptor agonist is an agonist of one or more serotonin receptors. They activate serotonin receptors in a manner similar to that of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine; 5-HT), a neurotransmitter and hormone and the endogenous ligand of the serotonin receptors.
NA; Serotonin syndrome is a potentially fatal condition caused by drugs that affect serotonin metabolism or act as serotonin receptor agonists. Monoamine
Serotonin Receptor Agonists. Endogenous compounds and drugs that bind to and activate SEROTONIN RECEPTORS. Many serotonin receptor agonists are used as ANTIDEPRESSANTS; ANXIOLYTICS; and in the treatment of MIGRAINE DISORDERS. A triptan used for the treatment of migraines.

Other medications implicated include serotonin precursors, monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), serotonin agonists and drugs that cause serotonin release.
Many of these drugs act as agonists of the dopamine neurotransmitter system. Mescaline and LSD are serotonin agonists, and PCP (angel
